🎙️ The Man You Must Become | Even Jesus Had a Will
Guest: Stephon Chaney — Husband, Father, Pastor, and Co-Founder of Activate Church
Tagline: The fulfillment you’ve been searching for is available right now. His name is Jesus. But He requires your full surrender.
📝 In this powerful episode of Legacy Talks, Jason Brown sits down with Stephon Chaney to unpack what it truly means to surrender. After surviving a near-death car accident, Stephon’s entire life shifted—from living for the world to walking in full obedience to God. His journey reveals the transformation that comes when you die to self, carry your cross, and prepare not only for life—but also for legacy.
Together, they explore how surrender strengthens marriage, shapes manhood, and creates peace in both life and death. Stephon shares practical wisdom on discipleship, mentorship, and why even Jesus left a will as an act of love and preparation for His followers.
This episode goes beyond faith—it’s about manhood, legacy, and the gift of preparation for the next generation.
